When it comes to a franchise business, one would think of fast food chains to the likes of McDonald’s, Burger King, Subway, and so forth.

On Under the Radar, Drive Time’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Scott Wang, Asia Pacific Vice President, World Trade Centers Association for more.
